To be well again would be the cat’s pajamas! Not that I’m sick and yucky like I was in chemo (blah!), but you know, I just don’t have that pep in my step any more, and that’s what I want to find, is that pep.
I remember when I was in chemotherapy I hated it when people would come to me with all kinds of “home-remedies” “folk-remedies” or “natural-remedies” to help me deal with the cancer and chemotherapy. It use to piss me off as a matter of fact, I use to think who are you to know more than my Oncologist or my care team? Who are you to tell ME what to do? LOL I think that’s what it came down to in the long run, when you’re going through treatments, everyone is telling you what to do and any opportunity to control what you did, what you took, was fiercely guarded!
Anyhoos, this rambling was to share a resource I found at the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center’s website, it lists herbs, botanicals and other products. It “provides evidence-based information about herbs, botanicals, supplements, and more.” And I think this is important so I’m sharing it with you:
About Herbs, Botanical and Other Products
Now as with anything (the disclaimer) you need to share what you’re taking with your Oncology team and/or medical provider so that you do not hurt yourself or hinder your treatments or healing, OK?
Here’s to healing!
